It's a zoo!

There's no particular reason to come here if you aren't traveling with children, but it was a nice day off for our 4 year old, who actually got to enjoy an activity instead of being dragged through yet another tour or museum.

Butterfly visit a must

Nice to visit the zoo. Especially the butterfly jungle. Some animals have smaller/basic caves that used for these kinds of animals on many European zoo’s.
